Can anyone recoomend a program that will reduce the size of photos, so I can archive at a lower resolution. Prefereably a freeware prog. I know I can do it with Photoshop one by one, but it would be useful to do it by folder, ortherwise I will take forever.
I use vso image resizer, free from download.com
Why would you "archive" at lower resolution?
Surely one generally archives the originals so they are safe and can be used again, no?
so I can archive at a lower resolution
why ???
As GrahamS & SFB have said, keep the original size for archiving, hard disk space is hardly expensive nowadays.
if however you're still after a free easy resizer, there's an XP powertoy for the job... should work on Vista too I'd have thought, just right click on a single or batch of images then choose 'resize image(s)'

If you have Microsoft Office (2003 or 2007), the "free" Picture Manager will batch re-size photos... I use it all the time before posting on Flickr..
you can record an action to do it with photoshop and automate the whole process.
irfanview is a great little program
I use pixresizer. It's free, works perfectly and does single images or batches. Get it [url= http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm ]HERE[/url]
